AceShowbiz - Lizzo's sleeper hit "Good as Hell" is getting a remix. For the new version of the 2016 song, which was released on Thursday, October 24, the rapper has recruited Ariana Grande to make the joyous anthem spicier with her vocals.
Ariana only comes in during the second verse of the song, singing, " 'Cause he better know my worth/ There's so much that I deserve/ But I ain't worried now, I'ma let my hair down/ He been tryin' it, but not today," before she joins forces with Lizzo for the chorus. The ladies harmonize, "And do you hair toss, check my nails/ Baby, how you feelin'? (Feelin' good as hell)/ Hair toss, check my nails/ Baby, how you feelin'?"
Lizzo announced the remix earlier on the day, giving hints during Instagram Live. "I'll give you a hint," she said as she held up a grande-sized Starbucks coffee cup. "If you can guess the size of this drink, you'll know what I'm talking about. Starbucks can y'all give me a coin for this."
"Good as Hell" was initially recorded for the soundtrack of "Barbershop: The Next Cut" and appeared on Lizzo's 2016 "Coconut Oil" EP. Due to the success of her first sleeper hit "Truth Hurts", the song also enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. Following her performance of the song at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, it entered the Billboard's Hot 100 at No. 52. It later peaked at No. 20, becoming her second top 20 hit on the chart.
Meanwhile, "Truth Hurts" spent seven weeks atop Billboard's Hot 100 chart, tying Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" featuring Charli XCX for the longest-leading rap song by a female artist on the chart. It also became the longest-leading rap single by a female artist unaccompanied by another act in the chart's history, surpassing Cardi B's three-week reign with "Bodak Yellow" in October 2017.
